Rheinstadter's Flushing Curette The flushing curette is of the Rheinstadter type and is made of metal. It is composed of a long shaft, enabling deep access into the uterus for effective tissue removal, with a knurled ergonomic handle for grip, where “Smith & Sheppard” is engraved, and a cup-shaped tip. The tip has two longitudinal fenestrations, which enable tissue grasping and efficient flushing. The shaft is a hollow tube, open at both ends, allowing for the passage of fluids during flushing procedures. Corrosion is present, especially towards the handle-end side. 1900-1949
